Charlotte left Alastair standing at the altar, but the ruthless billionaire still wants to marry her, and if it takes blackmail to make that happen? So be it. On the eve of her wedding, Charlotte realizes that the Greek tycoon she loves and plans to spend the rest of her life with doesn't know her at all. Worse, he expects her to be something she's not. He doesn't just want a wife, he wants a society hostess and for this introvert, that sounds more like torture than wedded bliss. Alastair doesn't understand why Charlotte called off the wedding and he's still smarting from the humiliation of being the center of the media frenzy and the butt of his family's jokes. Nevertheless, he's determined to marry the woman that got away and just like any good takeover, he's stacked the deck in his favor.

The last thing she wants is to join the royal family, but the sizzling tension between Blythe and Prince Tor of Tapt Oyer is about to explode and all her good intentions with it. Blythe and Tor are friends, but the sexual tension has always simmered between them, just under the surface. Only he's the younger brother (in law) of her best friend and a prince, to boot. So why can't she stop fantasizing about the hunky royal? Prince Tor isn't like the rest of his family. He's spending his military service in combat for one. A law unto himself, he doesn't follow the usual rules and has no desire to give into his father's pressure to marry and settle down. He doesn't want to settle for anything or anyone. Tor wants Blythe and he's not letting her hide behind the age difference, or his status as a royal. Once the passion detonates between them, is there any hope they can build something lasting despite how different their worlds are?
